On Sat.(19th) I had a Great Egret at the Goldie Gunlock Wetland in Chillicothe. Only other birds of note there where 6 Ring-neck Ducks. Today, in a flooded field near Blain Hwy, and Blackrun Rd. in Western Ross County I had 45 Snipe. This was the most I have ever seen in one spot. Lots of "sky ponds" around..but other than Killdeer, no other shorebirds yet.
